Summary
Different relational dynamics make relationships evolve within entourages. They are here mainly explored from the Caen panel, whose longitudinal dimension allows it to capture detailed movements over time. The diagram of relational dynamics identified in Chapter 3 is taken up again by detailing the main movements articulating relations, contexts and networks: polyvalence/specialization, singularization/embedding, and connection/dissociation. The ways in which these dynamics appear, their frequency, and their evolution over the time of the relationship, and over biographical time, are highlighted here.
